When President Trump spoke by phone with Sen. Richard J. Durbin around 10:15 a.m. last Thursday, he expressed pleasure with Durbin’s outline of a bipartisan immigration pact and praised the high-ranking Illinois Democrat’s efforts, according to White House officials and congressional aides.
The president then asked if Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), his onetime foe turned ally, was on board, which Durbin affirmed. Trump invited the lawmakers to visit with him at noon, the people familiar with the call said.
But when they arrived at the Oval Office, the two senators were surprised to find that Trump was far from ready to finalize the agreement. He was “fired up” and surrounded by hard-line conservatives such as Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who seemed confident that the president was now aligned with them, according to one person with knowledge of the meeting.
Trump told the group he wasn’t interested in the terms of the bipartisan deal that Durbin and Graham had been putting together. And as he shrugged off suggestions from Durbin and others, the president called nations from Africa “shithole countries,” denigrated Haiti and grew angry. The meeting was short, tense and often dominated by loud cross-talk and swearing, according to Republicans and Democrats familiar with the meeting.

Trump was curt and dismissive, saying he was not making immigration policy to cater to the CBC and did not particularly care about that bloc’s demands, according to people briefed on the meeting. “You’ve got to be joking,” one adviser said, describing Trump’s reaction.
If this true all I can say is....... Go Trump! About time politicians quit kowtowing to these AH’s
Little Dicky Durbin and Flimsey Grahamnesty thought they were going to roll Trump.
Ha!
Profane due to dementocrat attendance perhaps.
The collective CBC are in fact American enemies
What does the congressinal white caucus think?
“hundreds of thousands of Dreamers”
They are DACAns, not “Dreamers” and their numbers are closer to 4 million.

It’s just like the “11 million illegal immigrants” the MSM is always slinging. Quadruple that figure. The fake news is neverending.
Now, who’s racist. The Black Caucus wanted Haiti included in the deal. I wonder why?
This country’s going to disintegrate into warring ethnic groups fighting over a dwindling pie.
They’re checking their privilege...
Just tell Durbin and the Democraps to kindly shut their S##tholes now !!! We’ve heard more than enough from them.
Re “Dreamers”: American kids have dreams too.
As of noon, something changed.
Yeah Trump look at the porn pic of Linda rimming Dick and said nope.
ricans had better awaken.Our government and Constitution is in the process of being circumvented and overthrown. The Democrats are Evil and want to control. They pretend they want to take care of illegals but what they are doing is going after votes.
America has 46 Million Americans living below the poverty line,another 1.6 million are homeless and the Democrats care more about illegals than our own people. The Democrats and Rich Elite want the illegals to do their labor Americans wont do and to be their nannies to take care of their homes and kids and not have to pay certain taxes on. Then the Chamber of Commerce want low paid laborers to do farm and ordinary labor work. Pay attention folks while you can we are under attack by out political system in America. The Evil Democrats and never Trumpers are destroying America.
By the way America is subsidizing the rich and illegals to the tune of several hundred Billion Dollars a year and a lot of what they make they send back to foreign countries.
Again note it is Durbin making the claims of language
WaPo and Little Lying Dickie Durbin
No names.
Why not, Wash Post?
All of this and the coming government shut down is a diversion from all of the illegal surveillance that is going public soon. The liberals and their accomplices in the media are doing everything that they can to change the subject. Alinsky would be proud. Congress needs to have a vote to get everybody on record and then the President should declassify the FISA request and let the DOJ do their jobs.
The headline is a gem.
Inside the tense, profane White House meeting on immigration.
I seem to recall some very graphic comments (expletives) from the black caucus and the latin caucus.
Why is that such a joke? He the president of all America.
This coming from people who trolled hundreds of thousands of women unto marching the streets in vagina hats screeching about their menstrual blood
But no, not only did they get greedy, they thought they thought Trump would fall for another fast one like Reagan fell for when he signed amnesty - give us what we want now, and we'll give you what you want later.
The Master Negotiator-in-Chief said 'shove it' to the deal.
MAGA!
Many of the commenters in the Post do not seem to fear Latin governance. They only gave the world Hugo Chavez, Juan Peron, Castro, Orgeta, et.al.
